Bataajhang

Bataajhang (Aran: Bataajhañ; lit. "Southern Gathering") is a walled town and fortress on the southern banks of the River Yuu, in the heart of the plains of the Arans. Bataajhang is the home to the Qarajhangaak, a sacred shrine that serves as a sort of neutral grand for all the warring Aran clans. Qarajhangaak is protected by the military-monastic order of the Sentries of Qarajhangaak, who run Bataajhang as a whole.

Bataajhang was one of the first permanent Aran settlements, as the Arans are chiefly a nomadic people group. It is also the largest settlement inhabited solely by Arans. The town is run following a strict observance of the sentries' monastic rules, and non-Arans are not permitted to stay inside Bataajhang's walls for more than just a couple of days.

Bataajhang was the home of Benmurran Aaru, who was a sentry of Qarajhangaak until his banishment in the summer of 417.
